When your coffee cup hangs suspended in midair, how many times has the world already undergone a digital reconstruction?
One morning in 2025, Cheng Mo, an office worker in Hangzhou’s Future Sci-Tech City, witnesses the world collapsing. A countdown of 72 hours appears beneath a blood-red sky. The Qiantang River turns into a torrent of boiling code, and the office towers of old are reconstructed as Gothic spires in a data storm. The only professional “data tuner,” Cheng Mo has glowing blue patterns flowing across his right hand, allowing him to rewrite reality. Yet with every choice, he has to watch his companions mutate. The marketing director’s mechanical eye foresees the apocalypse, his fiancée achieves eternal life in a cloud of intelligent machines, and Lin Xiaoxia, fighting at his side, is gradually turning transparent as her genetic lock is undone, becoming a quantum ghost.
This is an experimental arena gamified by a higher civilization, as well as a recursive prison in which humanity seeks its own redemption. When Cheng Mo tears through the dimensional barrier, he sees the wreckage of a human cryogenic ark from the twenty-third century. When he modifies the universe’s underlying code, he discovers that every variable name is a tombstone for someone who has passed away. A mechanical Buddha chants sutras at the end of time, his wedding ring lies buried in the sacrificial grounds of the Chaos Cult, and the boson cloud left behind as Lin Xiaoxia fades away is writing a farewell letter of love across the satellite maps of a newborn civilization.
